Freddie Woo tugged our coat and asked: Have you ever had to tell someone they had BO? Had to break dreadful news to somebody? Tell us how you broke through the cringe barrier

I live and work in the Peoples Republic of China, for a company mostly run by ex-pats. I get on well with the general manager, as he is a Brit with a good sense of what is funny and appreciates my b3ta style humour. The engineering director however is in serious need of being less intense i.e. getting that iron rod removing from his arse and lightening the f7ck up. We have had several run ins, about his inability to take my sense of humor, to the point the GM had us in his office to tell him to get a clue (my version of events, but he didn't tell me to notch it down, yet).
One day, after I had returned from Beijing I was describing some particularly great Beijing (Peking) duck, the the stuck up one asked if it was the same place he went to? He described how it labeled each duck with a number on its wing, which corresponded to records of its rearing. "So you mean they take ducks of a selected breed, number them on the arm, and stick them in an oven? What is this restaurant? Duck Aushwitz?"
It was around this time I found out the tightly wrapped one's lack of sense of humour was possibly related to his being of German descent. Even the GM looked at me as if to say"did you really just say that to him?"

"yes it is quite offensive"....
"is the person being offended a bit of a cunt?".....
"yes he is a bit of a cunt".....

You don't realise the spelling mistake.
If that wasn't so funny it would be sad.
NB: By that I mean - if it wasn't so funny that you are so not self aware that the OP meant AB it would be sad because instead of seeing an obvious spelling mistake you're so wrapped up in this site that you automatically thought that the OP was talking about Albert Marshmallow - someone who you've spent many an hour here having *witty* arguments with.
Dude go and have a snuggle with your missus - I'm guessing she's missing that.
Waits for *obvious* OkCupid joke*. Or something about my wife getting DP'd and me crying & eating noodles. Or at least anything to keep you at the computer and not in bed. Anything at all.

you ALWAYS, without fail fall back on the old "Lolwhut?"
You really should include the pic as well - just to drive your point home.

Can I counter with The Drake Escape, perhaps?
Or Arbeit Macht Fried, even?

That would have been perfect. However I am do often let down in moments of offence, where I fail to peek.
